Hmn hybrd or EV? If only there was a perfect engineering compromise.......oh yeah toyota perfected that too Prius and Rav 4 prime. Just makes a ton more sense than an actual EV at this point...for 97.9 percent of the population.

Which is impressive. I commute in my Boxster S. My commute is ~84 miles, and 99% on I10 or similar so my avg speed is usually ~72mph. I don't "try" to get good mileage, I probably hit 100mph a half a dozen times per trip (each direction, no downshifting, just accelerate in 6th). I usually average 22mpg. I think Porsche said that I could get 23mpg highway. I suspect if I worked at it, I could get 23-25mpg (drive slower, use hypermiler tactics).
